Schnitzel (Breaded Pork Cutlet)

Ingredients:

For the Schnitzel:

• 4 pork cutlets
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• Vegetable oil for frying

For the Chakalaka:

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 onion, finely chopped

• 1 bell pepper, diced
• 3 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika

Directions:

1. Prepare the Schnitzel:

   • Pound the pork cutlets to about 1/4 inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
   • Dredge each cutlet first in flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
   • Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry each cutlet until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Set aside on paper towels.

   • Add the baked beans, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
